Semiconductor structure

ABSTRACT

A semiconductor structure includes a carrier, a first protective layer, a second protective layer, and a third protective layer. A first surface of the first protective layer comprises a first anti-stress zone. The second protective layer reveals the first anti-stress zone and comprises a second surface, a first lateral side, a second lateral side and a first connection side. The second surface comprises a second anti-stress zone. An extension line of the first lateral side intersects with an extension line of the second lateral side to form a first intersection point. A zone formed by connecting the first intersection point and two points of the first connection side is the first anti-stress zone. The third protective layer reveals the second anti-stress zone and comprises a second connection side projected on the first surface to form a projection line parallel to the first connection side.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention is generally related to a semiconductor structure, which particularly relates to the semiconductor structure with an anti-stress zone.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

A conventional semiconductor structure 200 illustrated in FIG. 6 comprises a carrier 210, a first protective layer 220, a second protective layer 230 and a third protective layer 240. The shape of the first protective layer 220, the second protective layer 230 and the third protective layer 240 is quadrangle. Besides, the first protective layer 220, the second protective layer 230 and the third protective layer 240 are disposed at the carrier 210 and arranged in a layer-by-layer stack. For mentioned features of those protective layers, the stress of the semiconductor structure 200 likely concentrates at a corner that is overlapped between the first protective layer 220 and the second protective layer 230 such that the corner might be cracked or separated therefore lowering the production yield of the semiconductor structure 200.

SUMMARY

The primary object of the present invention is to provide a semiconductor structure. The indentations of a second protective layer and a third protective layer prevents the stress of multilayer-stacked protective layers from concentrating at one of the protective layers to avoid damage of the semiconductor structure.

A semiconductor structure having at least one corner includes a carrier, a first protective layer, a second protective layer and a third protective layer. The carrier comprises a carrier surface having a protection-layered disposing zone and a protection-layered exposing zone located outside the protection-layered disposing zone. The first protective layer is disposed on the protection-layered disposing zone and comprises a first surface having a first disposing zone, at least one first anti-stress zone and a first exposing zone located outside the first disposing zone and the at least one first anti-stress zone. The at least one first anti-stress is located at the at least one corner and located between the first disposing zone and the first exposing zone. The second protective layer is disposed at the first disposing area, and the second protective layer reveals the at least one first anti-stress zone and the first exposing zone. The second protective layer comprises a second surface, a first lateral side, a second lateral side and a first connection side connected to the first lateral side and the second lateral side, wherein the second surface comprises a second disposing zone, at least one second anti-stress zone and a second exposing zone located outside the second disposing zone and the at least one second anti-stress zone. The at least one second anti-stress zone is located at the at least one corner, and the second anti-stress zone is located between the second disposing zone and the second exposing zone. An extension line of the first lateral side intersects with an extension line of the second lateral side to form a first intersection point, the first connection side comprises a first point and a second point, and a zone formed by connecting the first intersection point, the first point and the second point is the at least one first anti-stress zone. The third protective layer is disposed at the second disposing zone and reveals the at least one second anti-stress zone and the second exposing zone. The third protective layer comprises a third lateral side, a fourth lateral side and a second connection side connected to the third lateral side and the fourth lateral side. An extension line of the third lateral side intersects with an extension line of the fourth lateral side, the second connection side comprises a third point and a fourth point, and a zone formed by connecting the second intersection point, the third point and the fourth point is the at least one second anti-stress zone. The second connection side is projected on the first surface to form a projection line situated on the first surface, and the projection line is parallel to the first connection side of the second protective layer.

Owing to the first surface of the first protective layer possessing the at least one anti-stress zone, the second protective layer revealing the at least one anti-stress zone, the second surface of the second protective layer possessing the at least one second anti-stress zone, and the third protective layer revealing the at least one second anti-stress zone, the stress of the semiconductor structure does not concentrate at the at least one corner of the second protective layer to prevent the at least one corner of the semiconductor structure from cracks or separations.

Referring to FIG. 2, the at least one second anti-stress zone 131 b is located at the at least one corner 100 a, and the at least one second anti-stress zone 131 b is located between the second disposing zone 131 a and the second exposing zone 131 c. An extension line of the first lateral side 132 intersects with an extension line of the second lateral side 133 to form a first intersection point A1, and the first connection side 134 comprises a first point B1 and a second point B2. In this embodiment, a zone formed by connecting the first intersection point A1, the first point B1 and the second point B2 is the at least one first anti-stress zone 121 b. The first connection side 134 is a flat surface.

With reference to FIG. 3, a first distance D1 is spaced apart between the first intersection point A1 and the first point B1, a second distance D2 is spaced apart between the first intersection point A1 and the second point B2, and the first distance D1 is equal to the second distance D2. With reference to FIGS. 1 and 3, the third protective layer 140 is disposed at the second disposing zone 131 a and reveals the at least one second anti-stress zone 131 b and the second exposing zone 131 c. The third protective layer 140 comprises a third lateral side 141, a fourth lateral side 142 and a second connection side 143 connected to the third side 141 and the fourth side 142, wherein an extension line of the third lateral side 141 intersects with an extension line of the fourth lateral side 142 to form a second intersection line A2. The second connection side 143 is a flat surface, the second connection side 143 is projected on the first surface 121 of the first protective layer 120 to form a projection line P that is situated on the first surface 121, and the projection line P is located at the first disposing zone 121 a and parallel to the first connection side 134 of the second protective layer 130.
